March 14 2018
The collection of the writer includes not only figurines and figurines. Picturesque paintings with pugs, lots of magnets, towel racks, clocks, food boxes, cutting boards, key rings, cell phone cases, potholders and even Christmas tree decorations!
“I stopped counting specimens in my collection of pugs already in the second thousand. It’s like it used to be in Russia: everything that is more than 10 thousand was already called the “darkness of darkness.” So I have a “dark darkness” of pugs. At the same time, I remember very well where each exhibit came from. The first in 1999 was given to me by my daughter. Little Masha in Bulgaria in some shop at the checkout saw a figurine of a pug, which was used to store used receipts. She said to the seller: “And I have such a dog at home, can I buy it from you?” As a result, the pug was simply given to her. “

“But, what is most surprising, my pets (Daria Dontsova has six of them – the cat San Sanych and the dogs Josie, Kuki, Fira, Musya, Mafi – note. House. There was a case when I was presented with a toy – a clockwork pug. He raised his paws and barked loudly. But they did not even think of accepting him into their flock, and, with their mouths open, looked at me with a mute reproach: “Mom, are you stupid? Did you decide that we will believe? “Unless my Josie, the most alert and active, attacks the pillow with the image of herself, which hangs in my bedroom on the handle of the closet. And he believes that the pillow will have legs and it will suddenly run away. “
Not only relatives and friends know about the writer’s passion, but also friends and colleagues.
“On the set of ‘Fashionable Sentence’ Alexander Vasiliev made me a gift, at the sight of which I squealed with delight! Gift making is a great art. Alexander Vasiliev could give me, for example, a scarf. And it would definitely be a wonderful scarf, and Alexander has no worries, and I would be glad. But he knows how and loves to make gifts. And now I have Cookies, it was made in a single copy, the author’s work. Cookies will live on my desk, guard the new manuscripts of children’s books. “
By the way, Daria Dontsova admitted that she does not work at her desk, and having posted a photo on her Instagram, she clearly explained why. The author’s manuscripts are “guarded” by a whole flock of dogs.
“In general, all things with the image of dogs in our house somehow very quickly lose their purpose. For example, we have a pug mat to wipe your feet. As a result, we are even afraid to step on it. The same thing happened with the shoe cleaner. And the last, which pleasantly surprised me, was the coasters for the teapot and cups. Friends from “Instagram”, whom I invite to my Mopshaus (as the writer calls her country house. – Approx. “Antennas”), agreed and brought along a stand. And everyone is different! Of course, I did not dare to put hot mugs on them, but now they hang in my kitchen instead of pictures. “
